How to work it out

  1. Difference: 63 − 14 = 49
  2. Divide by the starting value: 49 ÷ 14 = 3.5
  3. Multiply by 100: 350%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 14 × (1 + 3.5) = 14 × 4.5 = 63.

In a spreadsheet: =(63-14)/14*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 4.5 times the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 450. The value has more than doubled.

Prices: an item whose price rises from $14 to $63 has gone up by 350%.

Why the change back is different

A 350% rise followed by a 350% fall does not bring you back to 14: it gives -157.5. The second percentage is taken of 63, not of 14, so to undo this change you need 77.7778% instead.
